I was led into this by a strange little bug where the webapp stored +configuration in the wrong repo in one situation. From there, I noticed +that often when enabling an existing repository, the webapp would stomp on +its group and preferred content and description, replacing them with +defaults. + +This was a systematic problem, it had to be fixed in several places. And +some of the fixes were quite tricky. For example, when adding a ssh +repository, and it turns out there's already a git-annex repository at the +entered location, it needs to avoid changing its configuration. But also, +the configuration of that repo won't be known until after the first git +pull from it. So it doesn't make sense to show the repository edit form +after enabling such a repository. + +Also worked on a couple other bugs, and further cleaned up the [[bugs]] +page. I think I am finally happy with how the bug list is displayed, +with confirmed/moreinfo/etc tags. + +Today's work was sponsored by François Deppierraz. |
